For All You Power And Performance People Out There, You May Find The Following Info Interesting. Motor Trend Recently Ran A Column By A Funny Car Champ- Tony Pedregon. Someone Had Written In And Asked How To Best Spend $500.00 On Engine Upgrades. His Response Was To First Install A Cold Air Intake. For Every Degree You Cool The Air, You Can Gain 1 Hp. And You Could See A 5 To 10 Hp Increase. His Last Suggestion Was To Install A Freer Flowing Exhaust From The Exhaust Ports Back For Another 10 To 20 Hp. His Response Sounds Relatively Accurate, Except That Those Mods Would Probably Cost More Like $800.00 To $1000.00, Even If You Supply The Labor. I Might Add That The Cold Air Intake Makes The V-tech Change Over Sound Even Sweeter. Spring Cannot Get Here Fast Enough.
